Description
Most organisations in our community have been created between 20 and 30 years ago as bottom-up community driven activities. However, they also mainly rely on ministerial/governmental top-down funding. At a time when funding for digital is simultaneously "everywhere" but "increasingly competitive" - how do organisations in our community achieve top-down recognition by the funding bodies? How do we as community organisations manage the middle, where our validation is from the bottom up and our funding is top-down? What sort of communications and considerations are needed to balance ourselves in this environment?
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk
it should open eyes to the communication challenge we have, allow for less resentment when to-down validation is painful and equally ensure that we understand that policy understanding needs to be increased. .
